Not... really?

They've updated the graphics and redesigned the basic gameplay while attempting to keep the core ideas.

Ya, Sequel was a bad word. So I change my statement.

From what I have seen, they have brought it into the 21st century, and seem to be doing an amazing job of it. I, for one, am glad it's not XCOM HD.

They've been saying stuff for weeks like "the game has been done for a while."

Blargh, why don't they just release it then?

Publisher restrictions maybe? Or they're releasing it to coinside with a marketing campaign or something? Who knows.

Probably still some bugtesting and content.

There is also a delay between a game getting finished on the Dev side and actually getting everything printed and shipped out to stores/distributors and whatnot. It's not a very quick process.

Ah well. Only just over a fortnight to go. Also, has anyone else noticed how Dishonoured's release date on Steam has been pushed back to the day after XCOM? Steam trying to spare their servers some horrible rape and giving XCOM priority, it would seem.

Also anyone who has waited on steam to release a game knows to expect the unexpected. Midnight releases on steam end up being 6am the next day because they botched the release, or they accidentally push out the beta version rather than the real game, etc. Probably a bit of extra time to double/triple check with steam isn't a bad thing

Just a heads-up, the demo download reports as 5.8 GB. If you're running on limited bandwidth, that might be a problem.

O.o for a demo... God.. How big is the full game again ?

10 gb is what I found in my quick google search

And...finished! It's a quite short demo.

How fun is it, though? And does it have any replayability?
